Resumen
Descripción
The world food crisis, exacerbated by accelerating
climate change and the global financial crisis,
requires that agricultural scientists solve ever
more complex problems. Public–private partnerships
will play a more critical role in developing
agricultural technologies for developing nations to
improve farm productivity and alleviate global
hunger. In order to make public–private partnerships
work, we must move from the ‘sector
mentality’ and focus on combinatorial solutions
resolving the most pressing issues. Critical observations
from past and current efforts are helpful in
designing new relationships and approaches
towards driving innovation. Aggressively supporting
the development of mutually-beneficial
partnerships with a novel mindset will ensure that
we fully exploit the tremendous potential that
modern technologies promise.
